YOUNG DESIGNERS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN NEW YORK

The "Young Designers Scholarship Program" is an exciting, new and innovative arts education initiative sponsored by Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz and The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation with additional support from the Braman Family Foundation, Inc., Craig Robins and the Key Biscayne Women's Giving Circle for 30 talented students who will explore all aspects of cultural offerings in New York City. After a full week of cultural exploration all 30 students will attend a pre-college program at SVA (School of Visual Arts). The 15 sophomores and 15 juniors, will be nominated by their teachers based on academic and artistic potential and merit. The week of cultural exploration will take place in July 2011 followed by a three week pre-college program.

Each participating student will create a photo essay of their experience. At the end of the pre-college experience each student will receive college credit, have made valuable faculty connections, and added important material to their portfolio.
